Shennong Sequence

Chapter 375 The Wood Dragon hatches and is born, and the Bloodthirsty Vine survives its infancy!
During the two months that they were trapped, the divine spiritual realm expanded to a radius of thirty miles!
This area is more than six times larger than the previous twelve-mile-wide diameter.

Therefore, although the growth of the 'mountain god divinity' associated with it did not reach six times, it has expanded to three times its initial size.

This also caused the mountain god's divine power gathered in Zhao Yun's sea of ​​consciousness to accumulate into a small pool, containing about 573 drops.

Of course, Zhao Yun's meager divine power is nothing compared to the vast divine power accumulated by the mountain god of Yan Gui Ling Mountain.

But for Zhao Yun, this was like a panacea, making it easy to handle minor matters.

Furthermore, when Zhao Yun was willing to test these divine powers, he discovered that they had a universal restorative effect on fatigue in the soul and physical damage caused by immersing the body in the great flood to absorb the substances of creation!
Furthermore, it has excellent compatibility with one's own transformed golden bones, allowing them to merge together and enhance the essential nature of the indestructible power...

It can be said that Zhao Yun's side gained a great deal of benefits from this great flood!
Time flowed on again,

Zhao Yun also specifically observed the difference in light and darkness between the surface of the great flood and the sunlight refracted into the water beneath the surface during the day, outside the divine spiritual realm.

It was discovered that the seemingly endless upward growth rate of the great flood was gradually slowing down.

Even the overall flow speed of the flood has changed from the initial rapid flow of hundreds of miles in an instant to a very small flow speed of only one or two miles in an instant.

However, this is a flow of data that occurs in an instant!

Therefore, considering the time when the hole was punched in the sky, a month has already quietly passed.

Then we can know the relationship between the speed of this great flood and time, and how it covers an area of ​​countless miles.

Even if the hole in the sky were completely plugged, the Canglan Grassland, the Northern Liang Border Continent, the Zhuori Desert to the west, and the Western Regions Land of Ten Thousand Buddhas further west would still be examples of low-lying terrain...

Therefore, if we wait for this massive flood to pass, who knows how many countries and people will be submerged and die...

As for whether the Great Zhou Dynasty will be submerged?
Zhao Yun did know some information.

The Yan Gui Ling Mountain, which Zhao Yun participated in seizing Lingxiu, was just one branch of Yanmen Mountain, located between the outer state of Beiliang and the inner state of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Even so, there are many towering mountains, some over a thousand meters high, in the Yan Gui Ling Mountain area.

The Yanmen Mountain range, which truly served as the battleground for the Great Zhou Dynasty to defend against the barbarians, was even more imposing, with its peaks reaching hundreds of meters high, consisting of only small mounds.

Therefore, unless this great flood continues to rise much higher, it probably won't even be able to cross the Yanmen Mountain range, and naturally it won't affect the inner state of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Moreover, although the great flood did seem to be swift and fierce, Zhao Yun also saw that several immortals in the battle were not bound by the special power of the great flood that imprisoned all extraordinary beings and caused all things to sink, and were still able to continue their fierce battle in the sky!
This shows that there is still a strange force that can resist the great flood. So, once a solution is found, according to the principle of mutual generation and restraint of all things, this is not such a big problem.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yun and his group have not yet found a way to counter it, and for now they are trapped in this divine spiritual realm at the bottom of the great flood.

Afterwards, Zhao Yun looked at the fields cultivated by the soldiers and their way of finding joy in training the troops, and nodded in approval.

These scions of prominent families, led by the Jia family, did indeed help Zhao Yun train his eighty personal guards quite diligently, and even taught Tu Qi, the military advisor, a great deal of skills.

This was something that made Zhao Yun feel gratified.

After all, these six hundred aristocratic soldiers did not belong to Zhao Yun.

When the war ended and the 600 aristocratic soldiers withdrew, Zhao Yun still had to rely on these 80 personal guards as the backbone to continue recruiting soldiers.

Therefore, it would be most beneficial for Zhao Yun to learn some real military skills from these eighty guards in the future when he rebuilds a thousand-man army!

Afterwards, Zhao Yun reassured the soldiers.

They said a batch of monster flesh would be delivered in the afternoon, so all the soldiers could have a hot meal...

As for this flesh and blood?

It certainly wasn't Zhao Yun who slaughtered those lively, jumping monsters and dragons that could fetch high prices on the spot.

Rather, it was the wounded demonic beasts he had picked up while fleeing in the Canglan Grassland that ultimately succumbed to their injuries and died.

And recently, a lot of food had piled up in the warehouse, and fearing it would spoil if left for too long... so some of it was taken out, either thrown into the mountains for the dragon beasts to use, or given to the soldiers to eat, as a way to relieve their boredom.

After all, I've actually been in this divine spiritual realm for more than two months now, and it's not good for my mood to be so depressed.

Why don't we let these soldiers eat some meat and have some fun once in a while...?

In addition, the soldiers' cultivation progress increased slightly due to some spiritual energy escaping from the spiritual veins of the divine spiritual realm.

But none of them saw the same level of improvement in cultivation as Zhao Yun.

In the evening, Zhao Yun brought the monster's flesh and blood, and sang and danced with the soldiers for a while before disappearing.

Then, they arrived at this divine spiritual realm, the land of the Weak Water that shelters the primordial embryo.

"At present, my divine spiritual realm still maintains a land area of ​​twelve miles in circumference at its very center."

The remaining twelve to thirty li distance was entirely filled with the primordial floodwaters of the Yuan Tai Weak Water outside.

The reason Zhao Yun wanted to fill the divine spiritual realm with so much primordial weak water was because he really liked the primordial weak water's abilities to 'suppress everything, imprison the extraordinary, submerge all things, erode energy, and create matter'.

Therefore, this large amount of Yuan Tai Weak Water, when in control, can be turned into a powerful weapon at any time!
Furthermore, this great flood was formed from the weakened form of the Primordial Weak Water after it was degraded; in a sense, it can be considered a special kind of divine water. A large accumulation of such water is far better than losing access to this divine water to nourish one's spiritual realm after the flood recedes.

Therefore, this is one of the reasons why Zhao Yun kept accumulating the Great Flood Primordial Weak Water into the Divine Spirit Realm.

In addition, a month ago, Zhao Yun also moved some spiritual plants from the Dragon-Tiger Mountain Range in the center of the Divine Spirit Realm, as well as ritual spiritual plants, living spiritual plants, and the top-level life seed, the Wood Dragon Egg, to the boundary between this land and the Yuan Tai Weak Water.

After all, both Zhao Yun and Xin Ruyin were able to withstand and absorb the creative substances within the Yuan Tai Weak Water to enhance their own strength.

So, these spiritual plants, spiritual creatures, and even some demonic beasts, which are better at absorbing all kinds of energy, don't they bathe and soak their entire bodies in this Yuan Tai Weak Water every time?

When only a tiny drop is absorbed each time, the overall harm to the body will be reduced to a very small degree!
Even the slight loss is only to the extent that it can be repaired on its own after the special extraordinary powers such as magic power, demonic energy, spiritual power, and bloodline power have been circulated once!

Therefore, using this method to refine the primordial embryo weak water can be considered a stroke of good fortune.

Therefore, the place where the spiritual veins converge in the center of this divine spiritual realm is no longer a place where these dragons, beasts, and other creatures vie for power.

Most of them gathered by the Yuan Tai Weak Water, gradually absorbing and refining it to enhance their own strength.

Even Zhao Yun's own Blood Jade Spider, Iron-backed Centipede, Golden Pus Cicada, 18 Blood Dragon Cicadas, Five Spirit Generals, and the Fallen Dragon Earthworms that nurtured the fertility of the underground soil, all gathered at the edge of the Yuan Tai Weak Water to absorb its blessings.

Among them, the Five Spirit Generals, the Divine Realm, and Zhao Yun are all guardian generals and are highly bound together.

Therefore, the Five Elemental Generals, who have absorbed dragon blood and undergone a transformation, can now enhance their power through the growth of their divine spiritual domain. At the same time, they can also use the power of their divine spiritual domain to help them digest the harmful and violent energy that has been eroded by the primordial weak water within their bodies.

Therefore, the growth rate of the Five Elemental Generals is among the top compared to other demonic beasts and dragons!

In addition, those with a relatively large evolutionary range

These belong to the category of ritualistic spiritual plants: Magnetic Five-Needle Pine and Blood-Devouring Vine.
Other spiritual plants planted include: Bloodline Tree, Earth Vein Tree, Exploding Star Bamboo, Thunder Apricot, Purple Gold Thunder Bamboo, Ghost Willow Tree, Divine Dragon Wood, Sunflower, Moonflower Lotus, Golden Light Grass, White Bone Tree, Cloud Mist Tea Tree, Star Dew Flower, Earth Spirit Tree, Spring Breeze Grass, Golden Tree Spirit Seed, Vitality Dragon Tendon Grass, Spring Peach, etc.

Of the few who left their birthplace, many other spirits still live: Iron Mountain Skin, the Flower of Vengeance, etc.
At the boundary between this land and the Primordial Weak Water, they gradually extend their roots deep into the earth beneath the Primordial Weak Water, drawing upon its power bit by bit... This rate of growth is quite impressive.

Now, thanks to the transformative substances within the Yuan Tai Weak Water, Zhao Yun's Blood-Devouring Vine has grown from 21 meters to 34 meters in height.

This increase in size and level directly enabled the Bloodthirsty Vine to successfully pass through its juvenile stage!
Furthermore, during the self-transformation process of the Blood-Eating Vine, different types of blood essence condensed within its core, such as: Blood Essence that dissolves all things, Blood Essence that suppresses extraordinary blood essence, chaotic blood essence, weak water blood essence, primordial blood essence, and creation blood essence!

The blood essence, which represents the vital energy of creation, has only condensed into a single bead the size of a thumb.

Therefore, when the Blood-Devouring Vine could extract blood essence of different attributes from the Primordial Weak Water, Zhao Yun saw another manifestation: the Blood-Devouring Vine could reorganize, decompose, and reassemble the chaotic energy of all things.

Zhao Yun had a premonition that this newly evolved ability of the Bloodthirsty Vine would be of great use in the future!
Furthermore, Zhao Yun can now use his connection with the Bloodthirsty Vine to load it onto the divine spiritual realm, allowing the divine spiritual realm to simulate and analyze this ability, thereby further enhancing the divine spiritual realm's inherent ability to organize the energy of all things!

This will further accelerate the decomposition of the primordial weak water and speed up the growth of the divine spiritual realm...

Another ritual plant used by Zhao Yun was the Yuan Magnetic Five-Needle Pine.
Although it was planted next to the Yuan Tai Weak Water, it did not absorb the complex, chaotic, corrosive, and decadent energy in the Yuan Tai Weak Water. Instead, it specifically chose to absorb the creative substances within it.

From sprouting to its current height of five meters, it has grown rapidly from a height of less than twenty centimeters to its current height of five meters.

In terms of energy absorption, the speed at which the Yuan Magnetic Five-Needle Pine absorbs the creative substances in the Yuan Embryo Weak Water is stronger than that of the Blood-Devouring Vine, which has a higher volume growth rate!

Of course, even though the Yuanci five-needle pine has grown to five meters, it is still in the juvenile stage of just sprouting and growing, let alone entering the growth period.

It needs to grow to at least 100 meters tall to be considered past the juvenile stage, and at least 1,000 meters tall to be considered in the growth stage... So the potential of the Yuan Magnetic Five-Needle Pine is quite great.

Furthermore, as the Yuan Magnetic Five-Needle Pine grew, its Five Elements Escape ability, which was very useful to Zhao Yun, also grew!
At this moment, Zhao Yun's maximum escape distance using the Five Elements Escape Technique is 10,000 meters!

Of course, this was still limited by Zhao Yun's own magical power; otherwise, he could have traveled even further...

These were all unexpected surprises for Zhao Yun!

However, the biggest and most important surprise for Zhao Yun at this moment was that top-tier life seed: the Wood Dragon Egg.

The ancient banyan tree, the oldest tree in the True Dragon World, gave Zhao Yun and Xin Ruyin a top-tier life seed—a true wooden dragon egg—at their first meeting and final farewell.

Zhao Yun's wooden dragon egg was currently placed next to the Yuan Tai Weak Water and was being nurtured!

During the nurturing process, Zhao Yun also used the enhanced Ten Thousand Beasts Return to the Heart Technique, which was brought back to its origin by the yellow cloth. One of the two beast imprints condensed was branded into the wooden dragon egg, until the spirituality and embryo in the wooden dragon egg were transformed into his own—his other self clone!
Only in this way can Zhao Yun truly rest assured and let this wooden dragon egg hatch and grow in the divine spiritual realm, and even become the true foundation supporting the heavens and the earth in the divine spiritual realm: the pillar supporting the heavens!
In addition, Zhao Yun left behind another beast seal, which was prepared for the ritual spiritual plant, the Cave Mystery Shadow Grass, to be branded and refined when advancing from Sequence Eight to Sequence Seven.

Therefore, Zhao Yun's previous efforts in searching for the follow-up to the Great Art of Returning to the Heart of Ten Thousand Beasts, and even in transforming it into a new art, have been completely exhausted.

Going forward, we can only continue to search for higher levels of the Great Art of Returning to the Heart of All Beasts in order to trace back to the source and find some beast imprints that can be used to create clones of others!

That way, we won't end up like we are now, with this spare beast seal being used on the top-tier life seed, the wooden dragon egg. If we come across other good things later, it won't be easy for us to keep them for ourselves.

Of course, among the things Zhao Yun discussed with Xin Ruyin and the ancient banyan tree, the one with the coiled dragon,

What Zhao Yun was discussing was planting these seeds of life in different places, even in different worlds.

The agreement between Xin Ruyin and the Panlong Ancient Banyan Tree stipulated that arbitrary enslavement was not permitted, and only an equal contract could be established.

Therefore, the content of the negotiations with the Panlong Ancient Banyan Tree could not bind Zhao Yun.

At this moment, this supreme life seed, the Wood Dragon Egg, which is Zhao Yun's other self clone, has been fully conceived and is about to hatch!
